答案解析

答案解析：
36. embarrassed
解析：此处需要一个形容词修饰名词grin。embarrass是动词，需要在词尾加上-ed变成形容词。
37. violently
解析：此处需要一个副词修饰动词trembling。
38. smelly
解析：此处需要一个形容词，与annoying，uncooperative并列修饰名词characters。
39. pull
解析：此处需要一个动词充当谓语。pull oneself together“振作起来”。
40. shivers
解析：此处需要一个名词作宾语。give sb. the shivers“令人感到毛骨悚然”。注意the shivers，在这种情况下要用复数。
41. seized
解析：此处需要一个动词，与died并列充当谓语。
42. hammered
解析：此处需要一个形容词作表语。注意不要漏写一个m。
43. knew

44. 标准答案：At my annual checkup, the doctor asked how much I drank
听音关键：annual, checkup, drank
答案重构：At my yearly checkup, the doctor asked how much I drank
画龙点睛：因为上下文都是过去时，所以注意本句的动词要用过去式（“asked”和“drank”），同时还要注意句首大写。
45. 标准答案：At the moment, I became one of the five percent of alcoholics who can simply quit drinking
听音关键：alcoholics, quit, drinking
答案重构：At the moment, I became one of the five percent of drinkers who can simply quit drinking
画龙点睛：注意alcoholics的拼写，如果实在不能保证正确，可以用drinkers代替，但是都需要用复数形式。quit要加doing sth.，所以要用drinking，而不是drink。
46. 标准答案：Like my doctor's expression, it stayed with me and helped me stay sober
听音关键：expression, stayed, sober
答案重构：It, like my doctor's expression, stayed with me and helped me keep away from alcohol
画龙点睛：此句结构较简单，可以不改写。
